title: Host species-specific damage to oviduct mucosa by Neisseria gonorrhoeae lipopolysaccharide.
abstract: The selective toxicity of gonococcal lipopolysaccharide for the mucosa of human fallopian tubes, which is demonstrated in these studies, may be responsible in part for the specificity of naturally occurring gonococcal infections for humans.
